Are non-Catholics at a disadvantage when applying?
First and foremost, Loyola is a Catholic school. Loyola owes much of its success to the generous support of the Catholic Community in Los Angeles over the past 145 years. Catholic applicants are generally, but not always, given preference over non-Catholic applicants, and this without regard to race. Presently, Loyola’s student body is 84% Catholic, which closely reflects the percentage of Catholic applicants.
